1978? Really? You're bringing up 1978? Dude, that was like 35 years ago, and I bet you have no idea what happened.

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me. Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

Poor guy hasn't a clue. You might be right about him not knowing what went down in 1978 but he probably wishes he could forget the 2004 alcs. Really, was there ever a greater display of choking?

Leave him to wallow --as you say anything can happen. The Rays and O's are playing very good ball--The Sox are holding their own and the Yanks have been remarkable--just when you think they can't stay in the race they do.

For the next 2 1/2 months the East will be playing a lot of games against each other--we all know the team with the best pitching and clutch hitting will win--it will be a dogfight no doubt.

really? are you a 13 years old kid never watch baseball in all season along. You probably do not even know that Jeter is on DL. You probably didnt know the Yankees's starting five rotation. well, too bad the Yankees arent going to finish higher than 4th place this year cuz they have to play Boston 7 more times at fenway park as well to play against Orioles, Rays and Blue Jays. No Way that the Yankees can play .500 ball against these teams.

yanks don't win this year, but I am very worried about the sox. Who can we get for a right hand bat and two relievers without giving up the farm..Hopefully , more of a salary dump short term situation.
